Macros Have Been Dropped from Visual Studio 11(www.infoq.com)

Macros will not be available in Visual Studio 11. Come to find out only 1% of developers actually use macros. The macros IDE has not been updated in several years and is still only available in VB. The cost to support is too high. Instead new project templates will take their place.

Heh, shows why I didn't even know it existed. VB only.

They have been moving away from VBA and macros since around 2008 I believe. One of the problems was everytime an object version changed, mostly because of newer OS, you had to manually point to it rather than like a small app that compiles all it's resources in a dll file.
